Erin Hall (California State University, San Bernardino) and Ana Teresa Pérez-Leroux (Faculty) have published "Children's Comprehension of NP Embedding" in Glossa: a journal of general linguistics!
They used a colour task to examine children's comprehension of sentences containing complex NPs, comparing PP modifiers to coordinated NPs, where both referents are accessible. They propose that error patterns for comitative prepositions can be explained by the assumption that children's errors align with the direction of systematic language change.
